The 2013 Beaune 1er Cru du Chateau Blanc, which sees around 10% new oak, has an appealing, perhaps commercially savy peach-scented bouquet that opens nicely with aeration. The palate is balanced with good weight, harmonious and lightly spiced at the moment and adorned with an attractive twist of sour lemon on the finish. This Beaune is quite refined and is well worth seeking out.
